Is it normal to be annoyed when people talk about their bf/gf

83% Normal
15 Comments

Mentions of my friend's (or people in general) boyfriend or girlfriend don't bother me. But when they go on and on, blathering about their relationship, I just can't help but get annoyed. I don't ever express my annoyance, at least not out loud. I don't want to hurt people's feelings. I definitely don't feel this way because I'm alone and bitter. Even when I am in a RELATIONSHIP, I cringe at my friends' gushing about their boyfriends and girlfriends.

    I understand, it can get old if that's all someone wants to talk about. I have a friend who becomes very infatuated with every guy she meets, and that's ALL she wants to talk about. If anyone changes the subject, she goes right back to him. I'm more than happy to entertain what others like to talk about, but if it completely dominates the conversation and we can't talk about anything else, it becomes tiring very quickly. The art of conversation is talking a bit about things that interest each party (or all of them), and give and take, so anyone would become annoyed with someone who wants to dominate the entire conversation with a topic only they are interested in.

    It's just them bragging about their stupid meaningless relationship that nobody cares about.

    I hate it when people talk about them all the time to a point where I roll my eyes on them.

    I just add the notification of me being in a relationship to either

    A: relate to a situation someone is talking about

    B: blow their minds that I have a girlfriend in the first place. (If you met me irl this makes more sense)

        First week on the job and I am abundantly aware that I suck at it. But no damages or spills so that's the best I can work towards.

          Just double and triple check you apply the airbrakes when you get out. I always pull the knob and when I am stepping out of my truck i reach in and pull again just to be sure. I have forgotten to do it before the first time and caught it the 2nd. It just takes one time and your job is done.

            Already did a fuck up but somehow it didnt end my career. Tight backing will be the bane of my existence.

              I started as a yard dog, which means I just moved trailers on property, and when I was learning I destroyed a few brake lights and busted a mirror a couple times. I would accidentally hit another trailer with mine. Its normal to bump around in the beginning. The trailers are built tough usually its fine

              Do you know the length of the trailers you're pulling? Is it 53 foot or 48?

    Talking about that may be more interesting than talking about you.

    This is possibly the reason.

        That if they think you’re boring they may just talk about themselves instead.
